This japanese classic is a true rarity and a quick walk around showcases just why, the car sports all its exterior trim proudly, you would find all its chrome shining and all its badges intact. The factory styling takes a slight but tasteful detour with this classic now featuring a drag spec look with a set of thin aftermarket wheels at the front and thick aftermarket wheels at the rear while being wrapped with Toyo tires all around for better grip. The black interior cabin of this 1975 Mazda RX-3 is proof of this 1975 Mazda RX-3's reported low mileage.

The current owner reports that the small but mighty machine is not alone in bringing you an action packed driving experience. Also in place is a Racing Beat performance header, Microtech EFI system for efficient fuel delivery. The bump in performance is met with some handling upgrades which include reported strange engineering disc brakes, a four speed manual transmission from a RX-4 with 3.73 gears channeling all this cars performance to its rear wheels and a 8.8 Ford differential to better help with putting all this cars power down.

Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.

Turning back the clock to the 70s and 80s and seeing which cars defines the times it came from and its hard to miss the legendary R107 Mercedes-Benz SL.

Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
